Abstract

(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To reduce the bulk of an iron (stainless steel) can, such as a juice can, like an aluminum can after use, and to effectively use the waste space. SOLUTION: A weakened portion 2 is formed on a peripheral surface of an iron can body 1 such as a juice can in a shape that is easily crushed, such as a spiral shape, a horizontal line shape, an oblique line shape, and is easily twisted and crushed after use. Reduce volume and allow disposal.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to iron cans, such as juice cans, which are unlikely to be easily crushed, unlike cans that are easily crushed, such as aluminum cans.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Currently, beer cans and juice cans containing beer and juice etc. are widely sold in the market and sold in vending machines everywhere, but there is a case for waste cans that discards used cans next to it. After being put on, the case is to be discarded.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, in the case of waste cans as described above, aluminum cans such as beer can be easily crushed and reduced in volume. Although it can be reduced, it cannot be easily crushed with iron cans (steel cans) such as juice, so it is thrown away in the case after use. That is often the case.

[0004] Under such circumstances, the present invention aims to easily reduce the bulk of iron cans such as juice cans as well as aluminum cans and expand the effective use of waste space.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention forms a weakened portion that is easily crushed into an arbitrary shape, such as a spiral, horizontal line, or diagonal line, on the peripheral surface of an iron can, such as a juice can, that is difficult to crush because it meets the above purpose. Then, after use, the can body can be easily reduced in volume by twisting and crushing from both ends.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a can according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a commercially available can body such as juice or coffee which is relatively hard to crush. The weakened portion 2 having an arbitrary shape, such as a spiral shape or a horizontal line or an oblique line which is easily crushed by crushing, is formed.

After use, the weakened portion 2 is slightly thinner than a normal can thickness or provided with a strip so as to be easily crushed. The weakened portion 2 is preferably formed at the time of manufacturing the can. However, the weakened portion 2 may be provided after the can is manufactured, and the weakened portion 2 may be formed on either the inner peripheral surface or the outer peripheral surface of the can.

In FIG. 1, the weakened portion 2 has a helical shape, and the volume can be easily reduced by twisting after use. Can be in any shape such as three horizontal lines, bellows, or diagonal lines. However, in either case, it is preferable to take care not to damage the crushed hand when the can is crushed.

[0009]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, the present invention crushes the peripheral surface of an iron (stainless steel) can made of juice or the like to form a weakened portion that is easy to reduce the volume, and drinks the contained juice, coffee, tea, etc. The volume can be reduced by easily twisting or pressing the empty can by hand. The space can be used effectively, the surrounding area is less polluted, and it is very effective in beautifying the environment.
